The state and self-harm

That's one reason I have a shotgun. If I am ever diagnosed with cancer, I will almost certainly eat a slug within 12 hours.

I expect that, eventually, my wife will commit suicide. Not anytime soon, but eventually.

I was diagnosed with cancer and had about a 90% chance of being dead in a year. I had two small children to raise. I tried chemo. and it was worse than the cancer. So I stopped taking it. My doctors said it was suicide. So I fired 21 of the 22. That was in 1984. Did I get well? No. But I am not dead. Just stuck in a bad place. I would have been dead years ago, but I don't want my sick wife in a nursing home or my dogs in the pound. Only thing that keeps me going is taking care of them. If I outlive them then I will soon follow.

If anything happened to my wife, I would be dead within 24 hours.
